Reflection

Why is it so important that students learn about world religons?

Its important because there are alot of religons like hinduism or buddhism or any other one and you get to learn new things about it and it is very important to learn about them because you never know in the future what your husband is going to be or if your going to need it for your future because it is good to know about it and how it effects our country and it could be fun learning different things about world religon like for example when are the events taken place or what do they eat and after they eat what do they do on there spare time. If they students want to learn more about the world religon they can ask there parents if they know about it or they can also go to the libary and check out some information about it and about the events that happen and occur. Also they should learn more about it because it sounds very interesting and fun to learn about. If you ever went to these countries im sure you will like them and enjoy what they do in there time and im sure when they come back they would want to come back to the place that they were before because I know I would love to go back to that place cause it sounds very interesting. I would love to go to these places they look fun and interesting to go to and you get to learn alot about there culture

I made this on my own no websites
